HANDCRAFTED POPPIES TO COMMEMORATE THE CENTENARY OF WW1

------------------------------------

To commemorate the centenary of WW1, The Hive in Worcester want to build a display to represent each Worcestershire serviceman and woman lost in the Great War.
WFWI members, along with other groups, schools and individuals were called upon to knit, crochet or sew poppies to create a striking display of over 10,000 poppies in The Hive in November.
Wythall WI crafters have created 140 poppies which have been forwarded to add to the display.
Some of these poppies are shown on the left.

Following our sucess with the Garden Party days before, our members had been busy again baking cakes, pies and crumbles to sell at the Wythall Carnival.
Members had also contributed over 100 bottles containing various
substances for our Bottle Tombola.
A Rich Friut cake had been made and decorated by our president for 'Guess the Weight of the Cake'.
The day was busy but very successful.

WELL DONE ALL THOSE WHO HAD CONTRIBUTED & VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME ON THE DAY.

WYTHALL WI - WYTHALL CARNIVAL - 5 AUGUST 2018

-------------------------

As part of WFWI Centenary celebrations, Wythall WI held a Garden Party and invited members of other WI's as well as their family and friends.
Stalls included nearly new, plants, raffle, guess the number of buttons, bring & buy, preserves, homemade items/produce and there was also a lovely cream tea included.
It was a glorious day but hard work setting up the stalls and preparing the the cream teas. However it was all worth while seeing everyone enjoying themselves in the sunshine and getting to know members from other WIs.

The true spirit of The WI.

CELEBRATE WFWI CENTENARYWITH A GARDEN PARTY- 2 AUGUST 2018

Having seen the request for knitted or crochet hearts Wythall WI have made 700.
The hearts have been sent to Clare Young at Leckhampton Court Hospice.
These will be in the 'Work of Heart Garden' at RHS Malvern Spring Festival at the Three Counties Show ground from 10th -13th May 2018.

In June 2017 we were visited by two Practice nurses who talked about their voluntary work on the outreach programme with Camp International in Kenya.Wythall WI members were so impressed with this work that it was decided that we would knit teddies and make washable sanitary towels/toilery bags.At the October 2017 meeting, Judie was presented with both and she took them with her to Kenya in November. We have recently received a wonderful 'thank you' card and letter (see RT) from the nurses showing photos of the children with our teddies and the teenage girls/young ladies with the sanitary packs.Our efforts have certainly been extremely rewarding in making a difference to these Kenyans who have so little in life.
